Abra Chonta – 4,880m

This pass is in the central Peruvian department of Huancavelica. It’s one of the easiest climbs we know of in the Andes if you’re coming from the town of Huancavelica – 54km of 2-3% gradients and all on tarmac. If you turn east at the junction at the top and continue climbing it’s only 3.5km to Abra Huayraccasa, which is at nearly 5,000m.
